The Department of Energy (DoE) on Thursday issued guidelines to ensure the continued operations of the Malampaya Deep Water Gas-to-Power project in offshore Palawan province while the “enhanced community quarantine” is in effect. In a statement, the DoE said the guidelines addressed the operational concerns of Shell Philippines Exploration B.V. (SPEX), operator of Service Contract 38, which covers the project. These concerns include the possible access restriction of critical operational and engineering staff and contractors, including vehicles used for transport purposes in the National Capital Region; and continuation of the operations of the Batangas supply base in the Port of Batangas and marine supply vessels and other support vessels that berth in Palawan and Batangas. The department also called on concerned local government units to exempt the delivery of goods and the movement of SPEX’s personnel from the expanded lockdown.
